Veza, the pioneer in access-based identity security, has been named to the 2026 Fortune Cyber 60 list, marking its third consecutive year on the prestigious annual ranking. This recognition underscores the growing criticality of identity security as a top cyber risk and validates Veza's sustained momentum in the market. The list, produced in partnership with Lightspeed Venture Partners, honors the most important private cybersecurity companies driving innovation and enterprise adoption.
Veza has been named to the Fortune Cyber 60 list for the third year in a row.
The company provides an access-based identity security platform built on its proprietary Access Graph.
The platform gives visibility into permissions for all identities, including human, machine, and AI agents.
It addresses critical use cases like least privilege violations and dormant accounts.
Veza integrates with over 300 enterprise systems, including major cloud and SaaS platforms.
This recognition highlights the central role of identity security in modern enterprise defense.
Veza's platform is built on its industry-first Access Graph, which provides real-time visibility and intelligence into who can access what data across an organization's entire infrastructure. This approach is critical for enforcing the principle of least privilege and securing not just human users, but also machine identities and the emerging category of AI agents. The platform integrates with over 300 systems, from identity providers like Okta to cloud platforms like AWS and data systems like Snowflake.
The repeated recognition by Fortune signals a broader industry shift towards access-centric security models. Tarun Thakur, Co-Founder & CEO of Veza, stated, “Securing access to data everywhere and anywhere is the number one priority for every organization. It’s rooted in the principle of least privilege. Cracking the code on the principle of least privilege is centered in understanding permissions and entitlements as the purest form of identity. Enterprises must understand permissions at scale across every environment, since access is where identity risk materializes. Being named to the Fortune Cyber 60 for the third year in row underscores the industry’s shift toward the central role of the Access Graph in next-gen identity security architecture."
This third consecutive inclusion on the Cyber 60 list solidifies Veza's leadership in defining and delivering the foundational identity security architecture required by modern, complex enterprises.
Veza is the leader in identity security, helping organizations secure access across the enterprise. Veza’s Access Platform goes beyond identity governance and administration (IGA) tools to visualize, monitor, and control entitlements so that organizations can stay compliant and achieve least privilege. Global enterprises like Wynn Resorts, Expedia, and Blackstone trust Veza to manage identity security use cases, including privileged access monitoring, non-human identity (NHI) security, access entitlement management, data system access, SaaS access security, identity security posture management (ISPM), next-generation IGA, and Agentic AI identity security. Veza has earned recognition from GigaOm’s ISPM Radar. Founded in 2020, Veza is headquartered in Los Gatos, California, and is funded by Accel, Bain Capital, Ballistic Ventures, Google Ventures (GV), New Enterprise Associates (NEW), Norwest Venture Partners, and True Ventures.
